You're also nuts if you think WWE is going to be the only wrestling company that needs to reduce spending. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that they think that FOX and USA are going to pull the plug if they don't run live shows. The key word really is think. I don't think we have heard that officially. If FOX and USA did that, i guess the issue is then does the loss of TV money offset the money saved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a possibility though. But would they given they are the only scripted programming providing them fresh content?
